Have to wonder about places like Henderson, NV or even Tunica, MS in an era of reduced spending and online sports gambling.


Tunica has been pretty much a ghost town for a good while now.

Casino gambling alone isn't the draw it used to be.

Tons of casinos have popped up all over the country the last 20 years so theres way more competition and you have online gambling now.

The days of people driving hours to the middle of no where just to carino gamble in large numbers are over.

If you have ever driven it, you would know those towns between L.A. and Vegas are already poorer and more methed up than any small town in the South. This is going to make it much worse. That's if they don't turn into ghost towns altogether.


Primm really isn’t a town, it’s a cluster of casinos with ancillary businesses (outlet and gas stations).

Barstow and Victorville are small cities in the middle of nowhere, but yeah, drug use has gotta be rampant as there’s not much to do there.

Baker is easily the most depressing town I’ve ever been through.

I understand living in Primm close to the casinos if you worked there, but who is living in Baker, CA and why?

Sounds like some places where Jack Reacher would get mixed up in some nonsense.

Yeah, Mickey had some scam going then he robbed the cash horseshoe. Buffalo Bill was Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
